PREFACE 

HE compiler of this genealogy has during much of his life-time 
taken considerable interest in noting incidents and data relative 
to family history; but not until six years ago, when having been 
accorded the distinction of Historian for the Hess-Higbee Family Re- 
union, was any especial effort put forth. But since that time a system- 
atic research has been conducted, and upon suggestion of interested 
parties a year ago the author decided to enter into the laborious and 
quite endless undertaking of publishing this work, the data and records 
of which have been obtained largely from direct correspondence with 
the families. Much credit is due many who co-operated with a zeal 
that manifested much interest. Considerable record was obtained from 
encyclopediae of recognized authority, and also indirectly from official 
records, which were provided the author through kindness of friends, of 
whom modesty forbids personal mention; nevertheless the author enter- 
tains a deep sense of gratitude toward such ; for, being obliged to per- 
form a daily toil of nine hours each, the author could in no wise have 
secured this collection of family record without such assistance. 

Relative to the statement that the author is a salary man. and that 
his hours for labor being in demand, let no one think that the Christian 
Sabbath was utilized for the accomplishment "of this work; 

"WILL A MAN ROB GOD?" 

That is a pointed interogation in the third chapter of Malachi and should 
be recognized in all its meaning. We. in a country which prides itself 
as being Christian, certainly should maintain Christ's standard as set 
forth in Matt. 19:17; Luke 11 :28 ; John 14:23. God's word warns and 



6 HESS-HIGBEE GENEALOGY. 

directs and we should take heed thereunto. Hence, the author's attitude 
desiring not that the possessors of this compilation need have the blush 
of shame because of any such desecration. 

It is proper that the cord of sympathetic condolence be caused to 
vibrate in recognition of the forbearance and submissiveness on the part 
of the immediate members of the author's family, who have been, 
through these years of compilation, deprived of much of the social atti- 
tude which becomes a husband and father to bestow upon her whom 
he has vowed to care and protect, and to those whom the Creator has 
given him the charge of launching upon the active wave of social, com- 
mercial, political and religious life, in which each individual becomes an 
important factor. 

Instances where one's record is incomplete should not be considered 
as neglectfulness on the part of the author, but rather an inability, after 
repeated efiforts to obtain such. Some of the kin were impossible to 
locate; while others perhaps considered it "graft" and some were seem- 
ingly indififerent. 

Often dates and places would conflict with statements rendered by 
others, and sometimes even by themselves, and thus this work may be 
questioned by some, although the author has spent many a midnight- 
hour in painstaking efforts to verify dates and statements as submitted. 
Trusting that unavoidable errors will be excused without further apol- 
ogy, this volume is now submitted to the Hess-Higbee families, with a 
hope and trust that a charitable attitude may be accorded the author, 
because of any incompleteness, realizing that an error may be due to a 
wrong interpretation of our modern day penmanship. 

When reading these genealogical records the reader will note that 
many of the accounts are quite incomplete. Should anyone wish to 
furnish a more perfect record of any portion, the author will gladly 
receive and file such that at some future date someone interested in the 
Hess-Higbee genealogy might use the same very advantageously in 
securing a more perfect record.

INTRODUCTION 




N introducing this volume to its readers, some may be surprisec/ 
that the Hess-Higbee families do not come forth with a gilded 
J coat-of-arms, or other significance denoting distinction and no- 
toriety for past bravery or heraldry. The fact is, such an emblem 
they have not ; and in this age of American progress and leadership 
why need they any? The time was when military men went forth to 
battle clad in a coat of mail upon which was displayed their respective 
coat-of-arms, and that such were recognized by both friend and foe. 
But in this age of advanced civilization (may we never deteroate) they 
appear before us merely in the historical past. And so may it continue 
to be, just so far as is necessary for the promotion of republican di- 
plomacy. 

"Deus Spes mea." 

And may each descendant of these families prove himself such a 
Knight of Heraldry, not so much in military combat, but rather in 
every day contact as a citizen in the commercial, social and political 
world, presenting a charitable attitude, remembering that true charity 
covereth a multitude of sins. 

Had the author privilege of means and time to travel possibly he 
could trace the Hess ancestry farther back, but neither of such are at 
his command. Exceedingly fortunate was he in the securing of so ex- 
tended a lineage of the Higbee family, though the reader will take 
notice that preceding James Higbee, Sr., in the ninth generation, the line 
of ancestry is not Higbee but dates backward from the maternal side 
of the family. Thus it is that the first eight generations are the progeny 
of William I., Prince of Orange, while the remaining generations, al- 
though the same lineage, yet the Higbee strain is followed on down 
to the present. 



HESS-HIGBEE GENEALOGY. 



EXPLANATORY 




HE numbers at the left of the page indicate the generation, and 
precede the name of the descendant, or, if married, precede the 
head of the family. Those names which have no generation num- 
ber preceding are of the same generation as the preceding one that is 
numbered. 

A number in bold type succeeding the person's name indicates that 
party to be a descendant, and is used for reference. 

At the right hand side of the page, and opposite the record of hcs- 
band and wife, are placed in succession the names of the children of 
that respective family ; the number preceding the child's name, indi- 
cating approximately its numerical order in the lineage. Although for 
reasons unavoidable, these numbers are not strictly consecutive. 

Illustrating the preceding, turn in the Hess portion of this volume 
to numbers 912, 913, 914, which appear on the right hand side of page 55, 
and represent these as the children of Ralph and Blanche (George) Cal- 
hoon — 507. Now turn back to where No. 507 appears, and you find 
Blanche as one of the children of William and Margaret (Torrence) 
George — 213. Turn back again to No. 213 at right of page where Mar- 
garet appears as one of the children of Andrew and Mary (Spahr) 
Torrence — 127. Turn back to No. 127 and you find Andrew to be one 
of the family of children of Mathew and Judy (Hess) Torrence — 68. 
Back now with No. 68 and Judy appears as one of the family of William, 
Sr., and Mary (Waltour) Hess. Thus you have traced the lineage of 
Marc, Lynn, and Howard Calhoon. 

In the arrangement of the generation numbers, also the reference 
numbers in the Hess lineage, the author does not begin with No. 1 for 
the reason of having the generation and reference numbers relative to 
George W. and Mary A. (Higbee) Hess one and the same in both rec- 
ords. For reasons, see "Historical", page 10. 

Much of the data in this volume was copied from family records often 
inscribed in the family bible, yet different dates were given by different 



HESS-HIGBEE GENEALOGY. 9 

members of the same family. Sometimes through a long course of cor- 
respondence these entanglements could be solved. Some could not. 
Hence errors are unavoidable regardless of the author's persistent ef- 
forts to secure facts. 

In some instances the spelling of names has been different, even 
by members of the same family, and often the only way the compiler 
could adjust the difficulty was through a sense of inspiration and in- 
stinct as well as knowledge. 

The reason for A, B, C succeeding the number ?33 in the Higbee 
section is that this family of children's names were secured after the 
long line of successive numbers had been arranged for the press, and 
it was difficult to do otherwise. 

In a few instances the author may have used the terms Jr. and Sr. 
when these expressions were not in usage by the parties applied to, but 
it seemed necessary to avoid complications ; for instance, George W. 
Hess, Jr., grandson of George W. Hess, Sr. 

When a reference number is repeated it signfies a second marriage. 

In the index portion where the surname follows the christian name 
of a lady it signifies that such was her maiden name. 

The usage of a indicates that the data was not furnished even 

when urgently requested. Hence, the author could scarcely do other- 
wise, as the following may illustrate : 'T have three children, Charles, 
Julia, and Sarah ; each married. Charles has four children, and each 
of the girls three children." It is a difficult undertaking to produce 
an interesting family record from such. Upon the second request the 
author is considered a "crank", or perchance it is regarded as needless; 
perhaps no response at all, being due to carelessness, or, maybe, a hesi- 
tancy of self-publication. Nevertheless, the compiler of such a record 
is really "up against it" and knows no recourse.

HISTORICAL 




F records were accessible from which one could glean authentic in- 
formation relative to ancestry, it would be both interesting and 
gratifying; but inasmuch as we have very little of such regarding 
the departure of our ancestry from the fatherland and advent into the new 
and undeveloped wilds of America, it is necessary to depend largely 
upon traditional history which is handed down to us in substance, that 
about fifty years prior to the American Colonies' struggle for independence, 
three Hess brothers decided to bid farewell to loved ones in their native 
German home, confront the dangers and hardships of an ocean voyage, 
sacrificing many joys and kindred afi^ections at the shrine of the new, 
yet adored, America. And because of the sinewy nerve, determined 
pluck, manly courage and love of independence of such as these, do we 
of this age and generation enjoy that which we do, and only too often 
depreciate our inheritance. About the same period of time (according 
to the traditions that variovis branches of Higbee posterity have) three 
Higbee brothers from England landed at New York, and, like the Hess 
brothers, pressed out into the hills of Pennsylvania, from whence they 
migrated ; some into Kentucky, some into Virginia, some into Iowa and 
some into Ohio, the latter branch being the nearest kin to this genealog- 
ical record. One James Higbee, Sr. Appears to have lived in Orange 
County, N. Y., which is quite adjacent to New York City. Here it is 
that the Higbee lineage became united with the Anneke Jan lineage 
which latter one can be traced back eight generations farther. 

Passing through Pennsylvania and eventually into Ohio with this 
lineage we find one Mary Ann Higbee, a granddaughter of James Hig- 
bee, Sr., uniting her future prospects with one, George W. Hess, in 
Crawford County, Ohio, which union materializes the Hess-Higbee 
combination. 

The author is pleased to state that two other branches of Hess de- 
scendants, viz: the Andrew Hess family, and the Judy (Hess) Tor- 



HESS-HIGBEE GENEALOGY. 11 

rence family, neither of which are kin to the original Higbee family, yet 
are as distinctively and properly a portion of this Re-union organization 
and genealogy as any of the branches of lineage, have been traced with 
considerable accuracy. 

A large percentage of these families emigrated into southwest 
Michigan about three-fourths of a century ago, resulting in a large 
circle of kindred ones whose mutual acquaintance and fellowship has 
been made to be more intimate through the influence of the Hess- 
Higbee Family Reunion, which was first held and organized at Mill- 
burg, Mich., June 20, 1903, at the home of Mary J. (Hess) Babcock, 
whose mother was a Higbee. The place of this first reunion was on 
historic ground, having been the farm of George W. Hess, who, a half 
century previous planted the lusty apple trees under which this first 
reunion assembled. 

The Executive Committee which has thus far been retained com- 
prises : 

Juan Hess, President, Benton Harbor, Mich. 

William A. Hess, Vice-President, Eau Claire, Mich. 

Mrs. Lissa (Van Vranken) Matrau, Secretary, Watervliet, Mich. 

Calvin J. Higbee, Treasurer, Benton Harbor, Mich. 

W. Emerson Babcock. Historian, Mishawaka, Ind. 

The historian here diverges by stating that those who placed him 
in this official capacity are responsible for the production of this vol- 
ume, as without this incentitive to spur him on, even though it was 
somewhat the goal of his ambition, he never would have accomplished 
the work in this period of time. Furthermore he desires to state that 
although the records are somewhat traditional, yet much care and pains 
have been exercised to maintain a high degree of accuracy. And while 
we review with pride and pleasure the achievements of our ancestry 
and would deplore any incident that might place a blot of unwanted 
reputation upon these pages of record, it behooves each of us to re- 
flect that daily we are living and recording history for our posterity; 
therefore. 

Let honor be a gem in the crown of thy life ; and, 
Let no man take thy crown. 

The following poem, which was written for and read before the 
First Hess-Higbee Reunion, is given a place here because of its his- 
torical setting:

REFLECTIONS 



Long, long years ago, in those pioneer days 
Of staunch old Ohio, that good Buckeye State, 

There lived a young man, junior member was he 
Of a family whose sorrow I will here now relate: 

George Hess, of this family, his father did lose 
While plying his trade at river navigation. 

Thwarted not was George's courage, energetic were they 
Who were born of the blood of Penn's Dutch relation. 

Soon George W. Hess, he to whom I've referred 
To Mary Ann Higbee became wedded for life. 

They migrated Northwest, and located their house 
Where mid Michigan wilds roamed the hunter with knife. 

Here too was the Redman with his squaw and pappoose. 
Who in primitive homes beheld with displeasure 

The whiteman's advancement ; and, though friendly was he 
Yet desired was his absence for the neighborhood's pleasure. 

In those good days of yore, e'en as well as 'tis now. 
Time brought many changes, and along with the rest 

Appeared four robust boys and eight lovable girls 
Who made cheerful this home so wonderfully blest; 

With high aspirations, some profit to share. 
They enter the realm of the pedagogue's sphere; 

And children they tutor, educate and prepare 
For their duties in life while they are sojourning here. 

Now in the world's great coui-se of all human events. 
Men striving to possess of life's necessaries. 

Very frequently leave enduring landmarks. 
Viewed oft' by admirer, enjoyed by successors: 

And right royal it is that such is the way 
Our Supreme Creator has prudently planned ; 

That all nature may tend to accomplish results 
Which happiness promote, makes the world more grand. 



HESS-HIGBEE GENEALOGY. 13 

Thus it is here today that we so nicely enjoy 
The efforts and toil of many a long day 

Here so faithfully spent in much labor and toil 
The product of all which do these fruit trees display; 

And while we're reflecting, fleeting time figures out. 
It is three score years since the clearng of wood. 

The underbrush burning, and preparing of soil; 
Replacing that great wild with this fruitage so good. 

Aye! and may I recall that e'en this is not all? 
For well I remember those trees known as maple; 

Those sap-pails in high rick camp fire and great kettle 
Preparing the sugar for appetite staple ; 

No sugar e'er tasted just like grandpa's sugar; 
We children enjoyed it, little thought of the toil 

Of our fond grandparents and their bevy of help 
Who ardently worked to make the sap boil. 

After all do not think that this pioneer life 
Was all very tedious, and with no pleasure in it; 

For real true enjoyment encircled these hours 
Of odd Puritan tinge and real charitable grit. 

This doing of good, as did Dorcas of old. 
Gives one peace of mind, heaven's touch here below. 

Let's humanity cheer and uplift, for but once 
O'er life's rugged pathway do any of us go. 

Through some evolution, and much revolution. 
Wonderful machinery of God's great creation, 

He locates am.ong us, and He taketh away 
According to His own grand supreme dictation. 

Of all this should any their criticism express? 
Never! No. Never! But very humble submit: 

For all things, don't you know? worketh together for good. 
To all them that love God, and His ruling permit. 

t Thus hath the Great Ruler, through divine laws supreme. 

From among our number seen best to remove. 

One cherished and loved by those who best knew 
The most inner nature of her gone above: 



In remembrance of Mrs. Ona (Babcock) Irwin. 



14 HESS-HIGBEE GENEALOGY. 

And yet, notwithstanding, the great hope that she gave 
Of the Hfe beyond this, and Christ Jesus the way. 

Our dear loving sister. Oh! how sad is her grave 
For it doth o'er shadow this reunion today. 

t Aye! We sadly reflect, that more recently yet. 

There hath fallen asleep our much esteemed brother. 

Into that great, great sleep which earthly ties sever 
Regardless of kinship, or e'en love of another. 

But certain we are, and much comfort it is. 
Our Comforter, Jesus, hath conquored the grave; 
He said, "I am the Way"; we this mortal lay down 
While the soul returns to the God whom it gave. 

It is quite unnatural that we always do stay 
In this Cocoon State, with the soul pent up here: 

Rather let it develop and be fully matured 
For a happier world, and more glorious sphere. 

With this grand hope in view let's be comforted here, 
And sorrow burden less, this day of reunion. 

Upon which we reflect, with kindred ones near, 
'Tis minature only of that heavenly reunion. 

These are frequent events which afflict in this life; 
And, while sadly severe, yet their tendencies are 

Toward heaven to raise our ideals and thoughts; 
To the cross us incline; and we're better thus far. 

So, with good Christian grace and much fortitude. 
To these, our afflictions, ourselves should resign. 

With a hope and a prayer that all meet again 
In another reunion, and with unbroken line. 

And while it is hoped, it is scarcely expected 
That a reunion like this can we all here enjoy ; 

For the hour and the time, man knoweth not when 
To account for his deeds he be called from employ. 

May we therefore beware, and be charitable too 
For charity crowneth faith, hope and much love; 

And if not permitted all to here again meet. 
May our souls be prepared for reunion above. 



In remembrance of Mr. Leander A. Hall.

SYNOPSIS 

Hess-Higbee Re-Unions Since Their Inception. 

URING the spring of 1903, Mrs. Mary J. (Hess) Babcock and 
daughter, Mrs. Ona Irwin, favored the holding of a family picnic 
in the apple orchard surrounding the home of the former, near 
lillburg, Mich. Desirous of showing no disrespect, the nearby relatives 
/ere invited to participate. It seemed difficult to draw a limit, whereupon 
he conclusion was that a general invitation be extended to all relatives, 
.et it be understood that at this period in the arrangements the senior 
romoter of this enterprise suffers an affliction in the decease of her 
laughter, Mrs. Ona B. Irwin. Yet with the undaunted courage, and a will 
ubmissive to the rulings of a Supreme Father, the mother Babcock proceeds 
n the carrying out in detail of the plans for this family gathering and en- 
erprise. Accordingly, though somewhat informally, this was done, the host- 
ss wondering whether this assemblage would be 60 or 70 personages. On 
he 20th day of June, as anxious ones awaited the arrival of friends, 
i^onderment changed to astonishment as the company enumerated 135 
elatives. At the after-dinner social hour, expressions were made regard- 
ig the enjoyment and benefit of such an occasion, which resulted in 
rganizing a Hess-Higbee Re-union to meet annually, arrangements for 
'hich were vested in an executive committee, then and there chosen. 

The Second Re-union was pleasantly entertained b}' Mr. and ^Irs. 
V. A. Hess, near Eau Claire, Mich., July 23, 1904, in their maple grove 
ard. 

The Third Re-union convened July 22, 1905, at the home of J. G. 
nd Tola (Higbee) Phillips, a former home of the venerable J. F. Higbee, 
ast of Benton Harbor, Mich. This re-union was remarkable for many 
f the attendants having come long distances to participate in this 
ocial event. 



16 HESS-HIGBEE GENEALOGY. 

The Fourth Re-union assembled July 21, 1906, at the residence of 
Dr. and Altavene (Hess) Weir, Millburg, Mich., which had been the 
home of George W. and Mary A. (Higbee) Hess from 1838 until the time 
of their decease. The participants in this reunion numbered 190 relatives. 

The Fifth Re-union met in a beautiful grove at Eau Claire, Mich., 
July 27, 1907, attendance at which was somewhat restricted owing to 
agricultural conditions. Yet our venerated grandma and aunt, Emily 
(Higbee) VanVranken, whose locks are four score and ten, as in the 
past was present, and she still expects to attend the coming event. 

The Sixth Re-union was entertained by W. H. and Amanda (Higbee) 
Hill August 8, 1908, at their residence in Bainbridge, Berrien County, 
Mich., where an elaborate show tent was erected and seated, enhancing 
the comfort and happiness of this large assemblage. 

The Seventh Re-union convened August 21, 1909, at Eastman 
Springs Resort, near Benton Harbor, Mich. A social was enjoyed re- 
newing kindred acquaintances in this one of nature's beauty spots. At 
the business session the following officers were elected : 

Dr. J. J. Weir, president, Millburg, Mich.; Mrs. Ona E. Reese, 
vice-president, Bangor, Mich. ; Miss Mamie Wright, secretary, Benton 
Harbor, Mich.; George D. Hill, Sr., treasurer, Benton Harbor, Mich.; 
W. Emerson Babcock, historian, Mishawaka, Ind. 

These re-unions demonstrate that 
"Unity and Affiliation are the Bonds of Friendship," 

Therefore, 
May the Good Work continue.

Residents of Westmoreland Co., Pa., and of 
German descent, Mr. Hess being of the second 
generation of American birth. Traditional his- 
tory bears record that three Hess brothers in 

Germany concluded to chance their future in America. Fearing the 
depredations of pirates, which infested the ocean waters of those 
days, these young men planned that in the making of their shoes 
(for they were shoemakers by trade) they would remove circles of 
leather from the inner shoe soles, placing therein gold coin. Ac- 
cordingly while enroute they were captured by pirates, and, after 
some time in bondage, they succeeded in securing a price upon their 
freedom, whereupon they removed their shoe-soles, paid the ransom, 
and proceeded towards the land of promise, though meeting with 
obstacles of which we know not. 

The decease of Mr. Hess, which occurred while his son, George, 
was yet a small lad, entailed many hardships upon the widowed 
mother, who diligently strove to and did maintain the family home 
circle. Incidents are related how this mother toiled in the field with 
her babes under the protection of nearby trees, while she endeavored 
to bear the burden of both father and mother.

Following is the obituary of Mrs. Andrew Hess 



At seven o'clock yesterday morning the tolling of the church bell at Berrien 
Centre conveyed to us tlie sad intelligence that a long, happy, useful and well 
spent life was ended and that the pure spirit of Grandma Hess, as we were 
wont to call her, had passed from earth to the joys of life eternal, the last 
battle fought, the victory won, the cross exchanged for the crown. She died 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. K. P. McCuUough, in Berrien Centre, 
April 12, 1897, aged 82 years, 5 months and 26 days. Mary Hemry was born 
in Harrison county, Ohio, Oct. 16, 1814, and was married April 9, 1833, to 
Andrew Hess, who entered the upper and better world Dec. 28, 1875, aged 69 
years. To Mr. and Mrs. Hess were born six sons and six daughters, all of whom 
were baptised in infancy and brought up in the nurture and admonition of the 
Lord. These parents were members of the Lutheran church and their children, 
witli perhaps one or two exceptions, became members of the same or some 
other church. Five sons and two daughters, Wm. A., Henry, Isaac, John A., 
Frank, Mrs. McCullough and Mrs. John Bower survive the mother. Besides 
these, thirty-four grandchildren and twenty-one great grandchildren mourn 
their loss. The funeral, conducted by Rev. W. W. Hess, who spoke comforting 
words from the 90th Psalm. Henry, John A. and William Hess will convey 
the remains to Sulphur Springs, Ohio, where the last sad rites of love and 
respect will be paid to the memory of one whose long life was spent in doing 
what she could do for the good of others. H. S. R.

which was being obHged to abandon their wagon in mid-stream when 
fording the broad St. Joseph river at its mouth, mount the horses and 
ride ashore thence five miles into the forest, where amid the Indian 
trails were finally located the parents of this young wife, who had pre- 
ceded them a few months. Mr. Hess was of an industriously progres- 
sive nature, being a carpenter, cabinet maker and farmer, thus materi- 
ally developing this virgin state, which had just became one of the 
union. Being of German descent and retaining the language, he proved 
to be of great use officially as an interpreter. He it was who planted 
the apple orchard just south of Millburg wherein was held the First 
Hess-Higbee reunion. Volumes could be written relative to the 
experiences of these frontiers-folk, but suffice to say that they be- 
came the proud parents of 12 children, and, with the exception of 
one who deceased in girlhood, all are living and enjoying a goodly 
degree of health at this writing, the oldest being 12 while the young- 
est is 52 years of age. Ten of the eleven children became school 
teachers, all being reared in the village of Miillburg, while the farm 
was across the waters of the deep gorged Blue creek. 

At the advanced age of 84 years, Mr. Hess, while hauling rails, 
sufifered a stroke of paralysis rendering him quite helpless the re- 
mainder of his life.

Obituaries of Rev. and Mrs. Fisher are in part as follows : 

Nancy Fisher, wife of Rev. G. P. Fisher, died in Grinnell, Iowa, Feb. 25, 
• 1891, aged 67 years. Slie was born in Harrison Co., Ohio. With her father 
she moved to Crawford Co., Oliio. She was united in marriage to G. P. Fisher 
in 1846, and in 1848 tliey moved to Putnam Co., Ohio, when it was called the 
backvsroods. In 1855 they started for Iowa; but sickness overtook them, and 
they did not reach Iowa till November, 1856, when they settled in Powershiek 
Co. Her maiden name was Torrence. She was converted at a camp-meeting 
in either 1841 or 1842, and joined the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, 
and was a consistent Christian till her death. She was a sufferer many years, 
and especially the last eleven. Her faith in Christ remained unshaken. Some 
months before death she felt that her stay would not be long here, and 
therefore set her house in order by way of arranging for her burial in detail, 
w^ith as much composure as though she were only going on a short journey 
to see a friend. She arranged for her dressing, pall bearers, minister, and the 
text, and then quietly and peacefully fell asleep in Jesus, leaving a husband, 
one daughter, and three grandchildren to mourn. L. H. BUFKIN. 

Rev. George P. Fisher, father of Mrs. N. T. Latimer, died Friday morning, 
December 11, 1908, at the home of his daughter. He had no particular disease, 
but little by little his physical powers gave way on account of old age. He 
had been confined to his room but a short time. Rev. Mr. Fisher was born in 
Canton, Ohio, April 18, 1825, being 83 years, 7 months and 23 days old. He 
was married to Miss Nancy Torrence of Crawford County, Ohio, November 15, 
1846. Three cvhildren were born, two dying in infancy and the other being 
Mrs. N. T. Latimer. His wife died February 22, 1891, and since that time 
he has lived with his daughter. Mr. Fisher was converted when 17 years of 
age and joined the United Brethren church November 2, 1842. In 1855 he was 
given a license to preach in Ohio. In 1862 he was ordained in Guthrie County, 
Iowa. He was an active preacher a goodly number of years. The funeral 
services were held at the home of his daughter Saturday, December 12, 1908 
and were conducted by Rev. Hartsough. The remains were taken to Grinnell 
and then to Westfield, Mr. Fisher's former home. The people of Westfield 
remember Mr. and Mrs. Fisher as good Christian people and leaders in revival 
meetings. Mr. Fisher and wife were people willing and seeking to do good 
that when the Master called they might give a good account of their steward- 
ship.

children, tliree daughters and one son, all living. The deceased sought and 
found the Savior when quite young, and united with the Evangelical I^utheran 
church of which her parents were members. In the year 1856 she with hor 
husband joined the United Brethren church, of which both were members for 
twenty-five years. During the last se\'en years of her life she was a member 
of the Weslyan Methodist connection. This church relationship was entered Into 
by her and her husband and part of the children because they could endorse 
more fully the doctrinal views of this church, especially that part relating to 
the total exclusion of its pales of all members of organized secret societies. 
She died as she lived, and her life was a living witness that Christ has power 
on earth to save. Her light was not hid behind tyled doors, but was always 
open for inspection — -as a city set upon a hill. Her sun went down surrounded 
with a halo of glory.

BERRIEN CENTER LOSES A GOOD CITIZEN. 

Henry Hess was born at Sulphur Springs, Ohio, May 2, 1838 and died at 
his home in Berrien Centre, April 7, 1908, aged 69 years, 11 months and 5 days. 
He was laid to rest in the beautiful Union church cemetery, Friday afternoon, 
April 10, Rev. E. A. Hoffman, of Benton Harbor, and the Rev. Harshman of 
Berrien Springs, officiating. Mr. Hess was a veteran of the civil war, enlsting 
at Tiffin, Ohio, Aug. 15, 1861, in Company C, 49th Regiment Ohio Volunteer 
Infantry, and was promoted to sergeant March 18, 1862; re-enlisted at 
Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 25, 1864. He was present and participated in the battles 
of Shiloh, Stone River, Liberty Gap, Rocky Ridge, Ressaca, Pickett Mills and 
at Dallas, Ga., at whch place he was severely wounded, May 27, 1864, and was 
discharged at Springfield, Ills., Nov. 11, 1865. In the spring of 1866 he, with his 
wife moved from their home in Ohio to Berrien Township, Mich., on the farm 
in section 15, which place has since been their home. Mr. Hess was converted 
when a young man and united with the Methodist church, but after coming 
to Michigan he joined the United Brethren church at Maple Grove, and later 
finding a church home with the Evangelical Lutheran church, was one 
of the leaders in building a beautiful little church in the village. In life he 
was a cheerful worker, and to know him was to love him, in sickness a 
patient sufferer, in the hour of death a believer in Christ and was conscious 
to the last moment of life, and his message to those around him was to be 
good, look to the Lord and meet him in heaven. 

Several years Mr. Hess was a member of the Berrien County 
Brass Band, which, throughout the state, bore an enviable reputation.

William, Lady, 

Born of Lutheran parentage in Nassau, now Weisbaden, a district 
of the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau, from which, through the 
revolt of the Netherlands arose the present Holland, distinct from 
Belgium, this Prince comes before his people as a reformer and pro- 
moter of national liberty. By the ''Pacification of Ghent" in 1576, 
William united the provinces in one confederation much to the dis- 
pleasure of King Philip H. of Spain, who now set a price upon the 
Prince's head, and, after repeated attempts, succeeded in causing his 
betrayal and assassination at Delft, South Holland, July 10, IJ^,^. 
The church contains a monument in memory of the Prince.

locating in the rear of where the present city hall is and Lower 
Canal St. Here they obtained possession of a tract of land contain- 
ing 62 acres, which has since become a great bone of contention. 
Roelofif Jans was a man of official and political distinction, and a 
stream of water in that locality still perpetuates his name.

Rev. Bogardus, as a minister of the Dutch Reformed church, was 
a man of deep convictions and indominatable courage, often pre- 
cipitating him into serious controversies. In the fall of 1647 he bid 
farewell to his wife and children, taking passage in the ship. Princess, 
for a visit to the fatherland. But the kinsfolk in Holland were de- 
prived of enjoying this visit, for off the coast of Wales the vessel 
mistook the chanel, shipwrecked upon a rock and the Dominie per- 
ished Sept. 27, 1647. No doubt a long period elapsed before the 
family in New America learned of the sad news. The Dominie's 
piety was manifestly illustrated in all the business details of his 
life. His character and attributes are vividly portrayed through the 
annals of the semi-ancient colony. 

Mrs. Bogardus, generally .known as Anneke Jans, was of Holland 
birth, coming to America in childhood and living her girlhood in 
New Amsterdam on and about the present site of Trinity church. 



HIGBEE GEXEALOGY. 75 

Twice married, rearing a family by each union ; twice widowed, sur- 
viving the last husband 16 years, she through it all displayed business 
tact and ability that was enviable. Having come into possession of 
considerable property, and realizing her advanced age, she arranged 
for the disposal of her belongings by a will which displayed a touch 
of her spiritual attitude, for in part it recommended her immortal 
soul to Almighty God, her Creator and Redeemer, and consigning 
her body to Christian burial. Thus she soon afterward closed a 
notable career. 

The Bogardus heirs claimed their share of the estate known as 
the Trinity church property in the city of New York, which latter 
corporation had secured possession of by a 99-year lease, but had 
been given by will of Anneke Jans (Yans) Bogardus, bearing date of 
Jan. 27, 1663, and recorded at Albany, N. Y., to her children and 
grandchildren. At present date this estate is valued approximately 
at $60,000,000.00. 

The above data was furnished James F. Higbee, of Benton 
Harbor, Mich., by Daniel T. Stewart, of East Hamburg, N. Y. 

Jans, Jan — 5, 
Jans. , 

A tract of land on the Mohawk between Albany and Schnectady, 
having been given this son by Anneke Jans. he. with his wife, located 
thereon, where they subsequently were massacred by the Indians. 

KlERSTEAD, DR, HANS, 

KiERSTEAD, Sara Jans — 6, 

Sara seems to have been unfortunate in the loss of husbands as 
she was thrice married. She and the doctor lived and are supposed to 
have died at the present corner of Pearl and Whitehall Streets, New 
York. Subsequently she married Cornelius Van Borsum, owner of 
the ferry to Long Island, and afterward wedded one. Elbert Elbert- 
sen. Sara was proficient in many of the dialects of the Indian lan- 
guage and acted as interpreter for Gov. Stuyvesant in the treaty 
of 1664.

Thus far this genealogy has been the de- 
scendants of Anneke Jan, a granddaughter of William, Prince of 
Orange. The 20th century Encyclopedia is authority for the fol- 
lowing: "Orange, a city and commune of France, 18 miles north 
of Auignon. For five centuries prior to 1531, Orange was an inde- 
pendent principality ruled by its own sovereigns. Now the estates 
and title pass to the Count of Nassau and thus to the princes. Though

Filled with the desire of keeping to the front 
in this rapidly developing America, these sturdy 
ancestors had ventured forward, pressing the 
frontier until now their descendants have scatter- 
ed throughout New York and Pennsylvania. And 
this young couple, having married about 1803, 

moved from Ontario Co., N. Y., in 1824, becoming residents of 
Crawford Co., O. But being eager to acquire the advantages in- 
cident to the developing of a new country they pushed westward, i 
locating in Southwest Michigan, establishing a home in the forest at 
a point five miles east of St. Joseph, during June of 1837.

This sturdy son of Buckeye nativity emigrat- 
ed with his parents from Ohio to Michigan when a lad of 19 years. 
Four years later he married Miss Mary Lewin, of Louisa Co., la., 
on Sept. 30, 1841, locating on a farm near the parental homestead 
in Benton Twp., Berrien Co., Mich., which farm became the birth- 
place of a family of children characteristic of such as of pioneer 
days. Mr. Higbee was notable for his thrift, enthusiasm and energy 
by which he developed and maintained a prominent standard among 
his agricultural associates. In after years Mr. and Mrs. Higbee 
retired from active life making for themselves a beautiful home in 
Benton Harbor, Mich., where on July 4, 1895, flie wife departed 
earthly life. Needing the association and care of a helpmate, Mr. 
Higbee accordingly married Sarah Jones, Sept. 15, 1896. Mr. Higbee 
lived in this same locality nearly three-fourths of a century.

b. March 2, 1819, Crawford Co., O. 

Nothing daunting the aspirations of this 
young- couple they launched their future, Jan. 9, 
1843, with an ox team amid the forests of South- 
west Michigan, erecting a log house in Bain- 
bridge on the same site where their son, Urias, 

now lives. In 1859 they purchased the farm across the highway, 
moving thereto, where continued the home until long after the de- 
cease of Mr. Van Vranken. The widowed mother, because of ad- 
vanced years, then shared the homes of her children. In April, 
1852, Mr. Van Vranken, bidding farewell to his young wife and 
five children, started for the gold fields of California, whither he 
remained away until in 1858, returning with much experience and 
hardship. But the hardship was not all one-sided, for the wife, while 
having the care of five little ones, experienced in due time the bring- 
ing forth of a girl whose earthly walk was only during the father's 
absence. 

At this writing Mrs. Van Vranken is the only surviving member 
of her father Higbee's family. And, although nearing four score and 
ten, she attended her brother James' funeral 11 miles distant by 
carriage. Furthermore, Emily Higbee Van Vranken is the only 
relative of the 11th generation yet living.

subsequent to that of his mother. They estab- 
lished their home one-half mile west of the 
father Higbee in Benton Township. Later they 
lived one mile north of Millburg, thence near Coloma. where the wife 
deceased. Myron is the only soldier of this family. He bid his 
family adieu and with the 49'rs started for California, but upon arriv- 
ing at New York ( which via the Isthmus of Panama was then a 
customary route to the gold fields) he returned home.

lishing a home upon his father's homestead, 3 miles east of Benton 
Harbor, Mich., where he lived up to the time of his decease, which 
occurred when the ill-fated Hippocampus encountered a gale. Mr. 
Higbee seems to have had some premonition of a disastrous voyage 
from the fact that before setting sail he deposited what unnecessary 
funds he had with him subject to the order of his wife. Previously 
Mr. Higbee, with the wealth—seeking 49'ers, made the journey to 
California, and, like many others, returned with much experience.

Higbee, and the two, by close application to agricultural industry, 
have attained a beautiful rural home, where the Hess-Higbee families 
were received Aug. 8, 1908, to celebrate their sixth annual re-union. 
Mr. and Mrs. Hill are fortunate in that their children are each 
located nearby the old home and the children can congratulate them- 
selves in having received substantial and material aid from these 
industrious parents v/hen launching their respective homes. The 
present house of Mr. and Mrs. Hill was erected in 1875, and, although 
a rural residence 8 miles east of Benton Harbor, yet is equipped with 
modern improvements.
